download mod external downloads

[GiraffeSummer]

Hello,
I am working on a sims (4) mod manager, and I'm wondering if there could be a way I could let users download directly from LL without having to paste any urls or anything.
I'm not sure how this would go, but maybe with an Api if there's one to use this could be done, I Would there be any way for me to be able to do this?

This is just a question, If theres tools I can use or if there's something possible, I'm not asking for you to change anything about your website or anything.

 

It would be much appreciated if this was possible.

At the top left, click "+ Create", then "File Download".

That's not quite the answer I was looking for, I was looking for a way I could download files from LL via the Mod manager I made, so download it via code.

Sorry. I misread the question.

Of course one can do this with 3 lines of code while the user would still need to log in introducing security issues (like "My account was stolen by MM"). But keep in mind that LL is free and uses only a few ads. You'd stop revenue for LL so I can't recommend to implement this. 

 

For SFS and Github or TSR subscribers it doesn't matter.

 

In any case if you wanted to display all LL/TS4 mods in your mod manager you'd need to download 3000 previews - some of the content is outdated and does no longer work.

Also for users with Patreon subscriptions it may be confusing that your MM offers LL instead of the Patreon content.

 

tl;dr;

Let the users download the content.

The users would still go to LL to download their mods, in their own browsers, but my extension with app would intercept it if you click the download button, so It wouldn't stop or interfere with revenue at all. but my app would need to be able to figure out what the download url would be through for example the post id or something
